'''Shelagh Delaney''' (born [[November 25]], [[1939]]), is a [[United Kingdom|British]] [[playwright]] of [[Ireland|Irish]] descent,  best known for her debut work, ''A Taste Of Honey''.

Born in [[Broughton, Greater Manchester|Broughton]], [[Salford]], [[Lancashire]], [[England]], she attended three primary schools, apparently enjoying the change from one to another. After failing the eleven-plus examination to qualify for grammar school, she moved on to Broughton Secondary School, where she saw her first stage production, an amateur performance of [[William Shakespeare|Shakespeare]]'s ''[[Othello]]''. She was twelve at the time and the play made a lasting impression.
